Eichel - wants out, unhappy with organization
Skinner, high contract, Flames can put on 2nd line LW
2022 first >2021 first for Flames.
just an idea and will never happen but like to hear what you think the several levels of makes no sense are?

Well you definitely do not need to justify it from a Flames perspective as it makes a lot of sense for them but makes no sense whatsoever for the Sabres.
Flames get the best player and the best draft pick in the deal and the Sabres retain 22% on Skinner. To me it is incredibly unrealistic that the Buffalo unprotected 2022 1st is on the table. The Sabres get Tkachuk but inherit the same issue the Flames currently have with him. Backlund and Monahan really do not do much of anything for what Buffalo is looking to do. Philips has no value, and Valimaki and the 1st make sense to include. I think the inclusion of Skinner, Monahan/Backlund and the Sabres 1st is what makes it too complicated
Tkachuk, Valimaki, 21 1st (throw in Philips if you want) for Eichel
